According to court documents, “On or about August 31st, 2007, in the County of Camden, State of Missouri, the defendant, with the purpose to defraud, made a writing, to wit: a Power of Attorney dated August 31, 2007 and purporting to have been signed by Ben Hilton in the face amount of $150,000.00 bearing sequence number 00001 so that it purported to have a genuineness and authorship which it did not possess, and defendant used such forged Power of Attorney to post a surety bond for one John Anthony Kelemen in the account of Camden County, Missouri, resulting in John Anthony Kelemen being released from jail.”

Kelemen, 66 of Edwards, Mo., was arrested for second degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Last month he pleaded guilty and was assigned five years supervised probation and anger management classes.

Ben Hilton has a bail bonding agency in Camdenton.

After Snyder, 49 of Montreal, was arrested, he posted his own $10,000 cash or surety bond. A hearing has not been set.
